Smart Community and Smart Home Solution
1. Overview
Since IBM's "Smart Planet" was listed as a U.S. national strategy, the "Internet of Things" has flourished around the world. Known as the third wave of the global information industry after computers and the Internet, the IoT enables remote control and sensing of objects through the integration of sensors and the Internet. China has incorporated the digital integration of industries and the comprehensive application of information across sectors based on the Internet and IoT as key components of smart city development, with smart communities being an integral part of smart city construction.
Smart communities and smart homes are two parts serving community residents. The former refers to community public services, while the latter refers to residential household services. The two are closely interconnected, as households need to access the outside world and integrate into society through community services. In early days, communities were managed collectively by work units, typically state-owned units, where external service providers (such as electricity, water, gas, television, and telecommunications) were coordinated through the unit's logistics department. Today, communities rely on property management companies for various services; however, some public service providers may bypass property management and operate independently, causing inconvenience to residents and higher management costs, as well as redundant and wasteful construction. In recent years, the state has issued policies allowing private capital to enter certain industries previously monopolized by state-owned enterprises. The concept of smart city has gradually gained public acceptance, with the government strengthening its leading role in smart city construction and strong demand from the private sector. Enterprise-led projects such as digital logistics and smart power have benefited both businesses and users, while government-led projects such as Safe City, e-government, digital law enforcement, and digital city management have brought significant benefits to both government and citizens. According to World Bank estimates, the completion of a smart city with a population of over one million, with unchanged investment, can increase urban development dividends by 2.5 to 3 times through comprehensive information management. This means smart city initiatives can promote approximately 4 times the sustainable development goals and lead the future direction of global urban development. Smart communities and smart homes must be planned uniformly, with guided investment to reduce duplication and improve intelligence and management levels. Based on the understanding of smart community and smart home requirements and relevant standards, Beijing Raytrans has launched an all-fiber access solution.
Smart community and smart home (hereinafter collectively referred to as smart community) rely on networks and IoT technology to integrate smart home systems, community IoT systems, and various social resources, enabling community managers, users, and various smart systems to interact with information in multiple forms, achieving more convenient and efficient management and providing users with a more comfortable "digital" living experience.
The foundation of intelligence is digitalization, followed by the provision of more targeted services to residents through various application-layer software, and the delivery of more intelligent services through information integration.
1.1 Smart Community Content
In December 1999, the Ministry of Construction issued the "National Demonstration Project Construction Essentials and Technical Guidelines for Intelligent Residential Quarter Systems," proposing three star ratings for intelligent communities. One-star is "Popular Type," two-star is "Enhanced Type," and three-star is "Advanced Type."
The smart community system includes:
Community facility management: community all-in-one card management, perimeter protection, electronic patrol, networked parking lots, wireless security, bulletin and advertising boards, street lighting management, background music;
E-government: (community activity notifications, community publicity, bill inquiry and payment, complaints and repair requests, voting and surveys);
Community commercial projects: (clubhouse services, community hospitals, community shopping malls, community catering (such as electronic menus, remote ordering and call-back), barbershops, housekeeping services, repair services, automatic payment);
Agency services for social projects: such as helping residents, especially special groups like the elderly and disabled, with social service project agency (healthcare, bill payment, airline ticketing, hotel reservations, travel services, car rental, dry cleaning, flower shop services, car repair, venue reservations, etc.), as well as services and activities from community-certified affiliated merchants.
The smart home system includes:
Video intercom, home security, contactless card access control, remote reading of four meters, home appliance control, remote interaction, remote healthcare, smart cinema audio/video control, and smart environment control, all integrated into one system.
1.2 Necessity of Smart Community Construction
- New community construction needs new highlights. The real estate industry's boom is over, housing project homogenization is severe, and various real estate marketing gimmicks are no longer novel to consumers. Based on the development of IoT and the Internet, hundreds of millions of households worldwide will build intelligent, comfortable, and efficient home lives in the coming years. In the plan issued by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development in 2011, it was stated that over 60% of new homes in the future will have certain "smart home" features. The marriage of real estate companies with high technology is an inevitable trend in the industry. Intelligent buildings attract particular consumer attention. Smart home fine decoration abandons the ostentatious piling of single-item fine decoration, instead placing residences on a high-end path, using science and technology to develop home decoration toward digitalization, networking, and integration. This process incorporates triple-play technology, IoT, 3G, and other technologies, reflecting the humanization, livability, and simplicity of the living environment, bringing tremendous convenience to residents and firmly capturing their desire for high-quality, high-intelligence living. It has thus become a significant opportunity for the development and industrial upgrading of the real estate industry.
It has been estimated that smart system investment is approximately 200-400 RMB/m², bringing additional sales appreciation of 1,000-3,000 RMB/m².
- The management level of old communities urgently needs improvement. The current multi-enterprise self-management model is costly, requiring many employees just for meter reading and repairs across various enterprises, with low service efficiency. Due to outdated technical means, service items are insufficient, such as smart parking management and home security management (gas leakage, smoke sensing, access control (abnormal door opening), etc.).
The basis for smart community construction includes:
Ø "Standard for Design of Intelligent Building" (GB/T 50314-2000);
Ø "Code for Electrical Design of Civil Buildings" (JGJ/T 16-92);
Ø "Security Protection Industry Standard of the People's Republic of China" (GN/T74-94);
Ø "Public Security Industry Standard of the People's Republic of China" (GN/T70-94);
Ø "Code for Electrical Design of Buildings" (IGI16-33);
Ø "Residential Telecommunications Cabling Standard" (ANSI TIA/EIA-570A);
Ø "Shenzhen Intelligent System Rating Measures";
Ø "Digital Application of Property Management in Buildings and Residential Communities";
Ø "Digital Technology Application of Operation Services in Buildings and Residential Communities";
Ø "System Testing and Acceptance of Digital Technology Application in Buildings and Residential Communities";
Ø "Code for Engineering Design of Generic Cabling System for Building and Building Group" (CECS72-95);
Ø "Commercial Building Telecommunications Wiring Standard" (ANSI/EIA/TIA-568A);
Ø "Generic Cabling for Customer Premises Cabling" (ISQ/IEC IS-11801);
Ø "Commercial Building Telecommunications Pathways and Spaces Standard" (ANSI/EIA/TIA-569).
2. System Design
2.1 All-Fiber Access System for Smart Community
Based on the demand analysis of smart communities, Beijing Raytrans recommends an all-fiber access approach to achieve intelligent management of the entire community. The solution system is divided into four parts: community command center, community public areas, in-building public areas, and smart homes, aiming to establish a safe, comfortable, convenient, and elegant high-end digital community integrating home automation, communication automation, electronic shopping networking, and property management automation.
In the community command center, our multimedia dispatch equipment IDM MSAP-CP is deployed, leveraging this system to build a CTI call center, large-screen surveillance system, background music, and property management system, while also connecting to the public telephone network, Ethernet, and cable television network, serving as the "core" of community intelligence.
The community public section includes public activity areas, parking lots, security systems (electronic fencing and patrol), roadways (surveillance and street lighting), and guard booths, enabling functions such as video intercom, intelligent surveillance, background music control, public information dissemination, and intelligent lighting control in public areas. This section is interconnected with the command center via multi-service optical access terminals, realizing service access and intelligent control.
The in-building public section mainly covers corridors and elevator lobbies, implementing functions such as intelligent corridor lighting control, security surveillance, public address systems, elevator monitoring, elevator emergency telephones, elevator TV access, and in-building smoke detection. This section achieves service access and intelligent control through our company's multimedia gateway devices.
Smart home is a highly intelligent system branch within the smart community, encompassing systems such as intelligent home communications, smart appliance control, smart home microclimate control, intelligent security monitoring, intelligent lighting and motorized doors/windows, intelligent remote meter reading, and smart home theater. Services are accessed through home gateway devices.
